Homemade Keto Coffee Creamer
Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of this Keto coffee creamer, a perfect alternative for those who have bid farewell to traditional creamers. Whether you prefer your coffee hot or iced, this creamer elevates your experience with its slightly sweet and delicious flavor profile. Unlike watered-down plant-based milk, this Keto creamer brings back the joy to your morning cup. Its versatility extends to any Keto coffee recipe, offering a richer and tastier drink than heavy cream or plant-based milk. The secret to this low-carb delight lies in properly tempering the egg yolk with heavy cream. Whisking the egg yolk and sweetener until pale and fluffy is crucial, followed by slowly incorporating the heated heavy cream and almond milk while whisking continuously. Simmering the mixture ensures it thickens without curdling. Stored in a glass jar or bottle in the fridge, this creamer stays fresh for up to 4 days. Don't forget to shake well before each use! For those seeking a dairy-free option, coconut milk can be substituted for heavy cream, although it may cause the creamer to split when cold. To avoid this, let the creamer reach room temperature or use it in iced coffee. While the recipe cannot be adapted for a vegan diet due to the essential role of the egg yolk as a thickener, it offers a custard-like richness that enhances the overall taste. Feel free to customize this base recipe with flavors like cinnamon, sugar-free caramel, or hazelnut extract to create your signature blend.
